Vaamanaa Fest

Day before yesterday was a very auspicious day for Hindus. This was the day on which His Almighty Shree Mahaa Vishnu descended on the Earth as a Brahmin boy revered in Scriptures as 'Vaamanaa' and appeared before King Mahaabali (grandson of Prahalaadhaa, the greatest devotee of Lord Narasimha, another Avataar of Shree Mahaa Vishnu) and blessed him. This day is celebrated as 'Onam', a state festival in Kerala, by people across barriers.
